I enjoyed this one. Great toys. Great story! A good way to spend 6 minutes.
You’re just like me. I my self collect vintage toys for some time now. I’ve been offer money for most of my collection But I can’t see my self letting them go. I now one day I’ll have to face the choice you are facing. You have done well keeping these beautiful toys alive and well and I hope they end up in the hands of others who have the same passion you and I have. God Bless You My friend., Joey
Why not make a museum and keep them. I’d go every day.
amazing, pity we dont live long enough to enjoy them.
Thats why I dont collect.
A fantastic collection. I can see you have taken care of them. One small piece of advice when touching these models you should wear gloves because of the acid we release from our hands in the sweat. There is a lot of money in your collection, maybe your grandson(s) might take an interest in the collection, or maybe give a few to a toy museum with the condition that your name is always displayed., whatever you decide this is worth a lot, so be careful how you sell.
man can i please have 1 ok maybe 3 wait nevermind how bout just 5?? can we make a deal ?! lol
Thats NO small fortune there!
Fantastic collection ,im also a dinky (foden ) ,and lesney matchbox collector.How much could reach a big collection such this??
What a tragedy!!! don’t sell them they need to be in a meuseum. For all generations to enjoy, if you have financial concerns then allow the museum help you out but this would be a great thing to put a small town on the map and generate revenue from either donations or ticket sales from visitors.
